How to Set Up and Use Zillow

The Zillow MCP Server connects AI assistants to real estate data via the Zillow API (powered by Bridge Interactive), enabling property searches, Zestimate lookups, market trend analysis, and mortgage calculations in natural language. It exposes seven distinct tools covering the full property research workflow — from initial search through financial modeling. Developers and real estate professionals can wire this into Claude or any MCP-compatible client to query listing data, compare neighbourhoods, and run mortgage scenarios without leaving the chat interface.

Prerequisites

Python 3.8 or higher installed
A Zillow API key (request access from [email protected])
Git to clone the repository
An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop

Clone the repository

Clone the Zillow MCP Server repository from GitHub and navigate into the project directory.

git clone https://github.com/sap156/zillow-mcp-server.git
cd zillow-mcp-server

Install Python dependencies

Install all required Python packages listed in requirements.txt.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Set your Zillow API key

Create a .env file in the project root and add your Bridge Interactive Zillow API key.

echo 'ZILLOW_API_KEY=your_zillow_api_key_here' > .env

Start the MCP server

Launch the server in standard mode. You can also pass --http --port 8000 for HTTP mode or --debug for verbose logging.

python zillow_mcp_server.py

Configure your MCP client

Add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file so the client can discover and connect to it.

Zillow Examples

Client configuration

Add this block to your claude_desktop_config.json, replacing the path with the actual location of your cloned repository.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zillow": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/zillow-mcp-server/zillow_mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "ZILLOW_API_KEY": "your_zillow_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Sample prompts that exercise the server's search_properties, get_zestimate, get_market_trends, and calculate_mortgage tools.

- "Search for 3-bedroom homes in Austin, TX priced between $400,000 and $600,000"
- "What is the Zestimate for 456 Oak Ave, Portland, OR 97201?"
- "Show me real estate market trends in Miami for the past 12 months"
- "Calculate the monthly mortgage payment for a $750,000 house with 20% down at 6.5% interest over 30 years"

Troubleshooting Zillow

Server returns 401 Unauthorized or 'invalid API key' errors

Verify your ZILLOW_API_KEY in the .env file is correct and that your Bridge Interactive account has been approved for API access. Contact [email protected] to request or renew access.

MCP client cannot connect to the server

Ensure the server is running before starting the client. For HTTP mode, confirm the port is not blocked by a firewall: python zillow_mcp_server.py --http --port 8000

Property search returns no results

Use the full city, state format for location (e.g., 'Seattle, WA'). Overly narrow price ranges or rare filter combinations may return empty result sets — widen the criteria and retry.
